research Blockade of Androgen Markers Using a Novel Betasitosterol, Thioctic Acid and Carnitine-containing Compound in Prostate and Hair Follicle Cell-based Assays
The new compound was more effective than finasteride in reducing markers of hair loss and prostate issues in cell tests.
research 5ARIs and PSA: Evidences
5ARIs lower PSA levels, but other tests are needed to avoid missing aggressive prostate cancer.
research Regarding prostate-specific antigen: let's not shoot the messenger
The drugs finasteride and dutasteride reduce low-grade prostate cancers but may double the risk of high-grade cancers.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors – The Finasteride Story
Finasteride safely treats enlarged prostate and male-pattern baldness.
research Doxazosin and finasteride alone or in combination: the PREDICT study
Doxazosin alone or combined with finasteride improves prostate symptoms better than finasteride alone, without extra benefits.
research Effect of finasteride and/or terazosin on serum PSA: Results of VA cooperative study #359
Finasteride reduces PSA levels, terazosin doesn't affect them, and tracking prostate cancer in patients taking finasteride could be difficult.
research GYNECOMASTIA AFTER FINASTERIDE THERAPY
Finasteride may cause breast enlargement, low testosterone a risk factor.
![The Synthesis of (−)-4-Methyl-8-Chloro-Trans-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,10b-Octahydrobenzo-[f]-Quinolin-3-One-[3-14C] (LY300502-14C) via a Circuitous Route](/images/research/73bab8dc-bdf0-45e3-8ef7-73d0d4b93cb1/small/21074.jpg)
research The synthesis of (−)-4-methyl-8-chloro-trans-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,10b-octahydrobenzo-[f]-quinolin-3-one-[3-14C] (LY300502-14C]) via a circuitous route
Scientists made a carbon-14 labeled version of a drug with a 48% yield and over 99% purity.
research HPLC characterization, molecular docking, QSAR and molecular dynamics simulation of Alstonia boonei phytochemical analogs as potent 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Alstonia boonei phytochemicals show promise as alternative treatments for BPH with fewer side effects than current drugs.
research Scientific Evaluation of A Unani Pharmacopoeia-Based Formulation on BPH in Animal Model
The Unani Pharmacopoeia-Based Formulation significantly improved symptoms of enlarged prostate in rats.
research Oral Presentations: Abstracts of the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand Annual Scientific Meeting, 25–28 February 2023, Melbourne, Australia
Urologists should monitor mental health in patients taking finasteride due to potential links to suicidal thoughts, adjusting dosage or stopping use if necessary. More research is needed to confirm if finasteride causes these thoughts.
research 5‐Alpha reductase inhibitor related litigation: A legal database review
Most legal cases about 5α-reductase inhibitors, drugs for hair loss and prostate issues, complain about side effects and delayed cancer diagnosis, with most lawsuits settled out of court.
research Sexual, physical, and overall adverse effects in patients treated with 5α-reductase inhibitors: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Medications for hair loss and prostate issues can significantly increase the risk of sexual side effects and other negative symptoms.
research Medical Therapies for Treatment of BPH: Special Considerations in Elderly Men
Tailored treatment is crucial for elderly men with BPH due to potential risks and benefits of medications.
research Acute gross hematuria: etiology and management
Most cases of visible blood in urine resolve on their own, but severe cases may need treatment.
research Targeting a fibrotic bottleneck may provide an opening in the treatment of LUTS
New treatments targeting fibrosis could improve urinary symptoms in BPH.
research Pharmacophore and Atom Based 3D QSAR Studies on the Novel 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
The developed model can predict effective 5-alpha-reductase enzyme inhibitors.
research Prescribing to save patients money: Ethical considerations
Doctors should prescribe cheaper, off-label medication and teach patients how to use it to save money ethically.
research Effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual, neurologic, endocrine, and cardiovascular side effects, but these are rare and usually stop after ending treatment.
research Discriminating in favour of or against men with increased risk of finasteride-related side effects?
Finasteride treats baldness but may cause lasting sexual side effects.
research Determination of the potency of a novel saw palmetto supercritical CO2 extract (SPSE) for 5α-reductase isoform II inhibition using a cell-free in vitro test system
The saw palmetto extract effectively inhibits an enzyme linked to prostate issues, showing promise for prostate health.
research Reversible visual loss caused by combination therapy of alfuzosin and finasteride in a patient with uveitic glaucoma
Taking alfuzosin and finasteride together caused temporary vision loss in a glaucoma patient, but switching to tamsulosin helped.
